Resonances in optical systems are useful for many applications, such as frequency comb generation, optical filtering, and biosensing. However, many of these applications are difficult to implement in optical metasurfaces because traditional…
We investigate the elastic stop band properties of a theoretical cubic array of iron spheres connected to a bulk of concrete via iron or rubber ligaments. Each sphere can move freely within a surrounding air cavity, but ligaments couple it…
We consider a periodic array of resonators, formed from Euler-Bernoulli beams, attached to the surface of an elastic half-space. Earlier studies of such systems have concentrated on compressional resonators. In this paper we consider the…
We present a mathematical model, based on the compilation and statistical processing of radiocarbon dates, of the transition from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic, from about 7,000 to 4,000 BC in Europe. The arrival of the Neolithic is…
Phonon localization is a phenomenon that influences numerous material properties in condensed matter physics. Anderson localization brings rise to localized atomic-scale phonon interferences in disordered lattices with an influence limited…
The frequency dependence of the interlayer conductivity of a layered Fermi liquid in a magnetic field which is tilted away from the normal to the layers is considered. For both quasi-one- and quasi-two-dimensional systems resonances occur…
Contact-based vibrations play a critical role in the dynamics of granular materials. Significant insights into vibrational granular dynamics have been obtained with reduced-dimensional systems containing macroscale particles. We study…
Extending the current understanding and use of magnonics beyond conventional planar systems, we demonstrate surface localization of spin-wave ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) modes by designing complex three-dimensional nanostructures. Using…
Large-scale seismic vulnerability assessment methods use simplified formulas and curves, often without providing uncertainties. They are seldom compared to experimental data. Therefore, we recorded ambient vibrations and estimated modal…
Overlapping fish-scale architectures are among nature's most distinctive surface adaptations, combining protection, contact regulation, hydrodynamics, optical and directional mechanical response within a thin textured integument. Here, we…
We report estimation of site response in the form of fundamental frequency. Towards this objective, we deploy widely established receiver function technique. Taking locally recorded events as inputs, we implement this technique to estimate…
Geometrical singularities in plasmonic metasurfaces have recently been proposed for the enhancement of light-matter interactions, owing to their broadband light-harvesting properties and extreme plasmon confinement. However, the large…
The discovery of photonic crystals thirty years ago, in conjunction with research advances in plasmonics and metamaterials, has inspired the concept of decameter scale metasurfaces, coined seismic metamaterials, for an enhanced control of…
The presence of topography influences the seismic ground motion and may result in strong amplifications, generally at the top of hills and reliefs. The increasing urbanization of hills requires an accurate estimation of these effects even…
Quark models taking into account the dynamical effects of hadronic decay often produce very different predictions for mass shifts in the hadron spectrum. The consequences for meson spectroscopy can be dramatic and completely obscure the…
We investigate the electromagnetic properties of assemblies of nanoscale $\epsilon$-cobalt crystals with size range between 5 nm to 35 nm, embedded in a polystyrene (PS) matrix, at microwave (1-12 GHz) frequencies. We investigate the…
Three different periodic optical metasurfaces exhibiting Fano resonances are studied in mid-IR frequency range in the presence of a substrate. We develop a rigorous semi-analytical technique and calculate how the presence of a substrate…
We study the dynamics of the space debris in regions corresponding to minor resonances; precisely, we consider the resonances 3:1, 3:2, 4:1, 4:3, 5:1, 5:2, 5:3, 5:4, where a j:l resonance (with j, l integers) means that the periods of…
The discovery of the Dirac electron dispersion in graphene led to the question of the Dirac cone stability with respect to interactions. Coulomb interactions between electrons were shown to induce a logarithmic renormalization of the Dirac…
A study of magnetic avalanches in Perminvar, an Fe-Ni-Co alloy, shows that some avalanches are almost exactly reproducible from one magnetic field cycle to the next, while others show significant variability. Averaging over many cycles…
